Legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was "worried" about Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool appointment, Jamie Carragher has revealed.
The Scot was in the crowd at Anfield on Tuesday night as he witnessed a gutless United performance as they slumped to a 4-0 defeat. Mo Salah's brace helped Klopp's side secure a second comprehensive win of the season over United. Prior to Liverpool appointing Klopp, he was heavily linked with the vacant position at Old Trafford following David Moyes' sacking. Even a month into the role at the Kop, Ferguson's fears had been relayed, according to Carragher, speaking on Gary Neville's podcast.
He said: "When you see Jurgen Klopp, he's bigger than any player. If you ask any Liverpool player who they would want to lose – [Virgil] van Dijk or Jurgen Klopp, they'd say Van Dijk, I can absolutely assure you.
